I ordered the homeopathy remedies that was prescribed by my new friend who is a student of professional homeopathy school. There were many items that I wanted to purchase from their store, so the total amount had accumulated a huge amount. The remedy store will send my ordered items to a shipping agent, and the shipping agent will forward my items with the custom documents. I wonder how long it would take for the remedies to arrive to my house.

In the afternoon my husband and I worked on reviewing and setting up the benefits of the following year that is offered by his company. His current company offers the benefits in a much better condition than ever. Many of this company’s workers leave high reviews of their benefits. I agree with them. I appreciate my husband for working at this company to support us.    

It was an extremely busy day. I attended a one-day lecture/seminar for farmers/gardeners for 7 hours from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. I had some other appointments and chores so I recorded it whenever I needed to leave the seminar. I went to pick up some produces from the community garden people, went for a bowling with my family, and attended the online training for the insurance agents. My day went by quickly. I will listen to the recording sometime soon.

The other day my neighbor friend brought us a surprise gift, which was a whole turkey. We thankfully received her love and kindness. When I opened our freezer, there was no space for such a big turkey. The cooking instruction says we will need to thaw it in the refrigerator for 4 days. Luckily, we had enough room for the whole bird in the refrigerator, so we kept it for 3 nights/4 days. This morning it was ready to cook. With the help of my husband, we gave a good massage to the bird with generous amount of olive oil and other spices, and baked it in the oven.

It turned out pretty well. My husband and daughter enjoyed the nice dinner. As for me, I noticed my body does not accept much of turkey, so only some small bites were enough for me. Now, there were lots of leftover for my husband in the freezer.

This evening I was planning to attend the monthly online Reiki gathering, but it was cancelled. Our reiki teacher just came back from his business trip of Romania and needs more rest. 

I thought of my Reiki teacher. He emphasizes the importance of valuing “right now” by reminding us Ichigo Ichie (一期一会) over and over again. I agree with him and would like to value the importance of each gathering. I hope he will rest up well and we will see him in the next online gathering. Thank you, Hyakuten-sensei, for your kindness and sharing your precious teaching and inspiration.

When I visited my mom in Japan two years ago, I wanted to cook healthy foods for her with safe ingredients. I went to several grocery stores in town and even in the next town, but I could not find organic produces or some ingredients that I wanted to purchase anywhere. I felt sad that the people who live in my parents’ area cannot purchase any safe ingredients locally. Maybe they are available through online shopping, but it is not available for the old people like my parents who do the daily shopping locally.

Compared with that, we are lucky that we can purchase safe ingredients locally. At the area where I live, starting several years ago, my local grocery stores started having organic produces and they constantly added the types of organic produces available. Recently I found they started having a variety of organic onions. My favorite produce is an onion. I cook and eat an onion every day.

Every Thursday morning the people of the local community garden share their organic produces for free of charge to the community. I myself have my small garden in my backyard too.

One of my husband’s coworkers bring chicken eggs that he raises to give away to his coworkers. It doesn’t happen regularly, but once in a while we receive the naturally grown eggs.

I feel blessed. I would not have been able to feel this way while I was living in Japan. Now I can say from my heart that we don’t need to be surrounded by whole munch of luxurious material items. Natural produces with lots of vital energies make us feeling rich and blessed.

I had the same schedule as yesterday, having two zoom meetings from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. In the early afternoon at 1 p.m., I had a homeopathy counselling for my daughter, and in the late afternoon at 4 p.m., I attended a zoom seminar regarding the retirement house presented by the Japanese professional group of a CPA, and a financial adviser, and some attorneys. Today’ session was desiccated for Q & A. All the information was helpful. I really appreciate for the people who presented this seminar for us; Japanese people living in a foreign country.

It was a busy day as I had two zoom meetings back-to-back started from 1 p.m. and ended 6 p.m.

In the early afternoon at 1 p.m., I had a homeopathy counselling with my new homeopathy friend. She is a senior student of the Japanese professional homeopathy school and dealing with the final report of actual cases. We started chatting about our common course of Inner Child therapist course. She started the course one year before me and just had the final exam for the certification yesterday.

I really appreciate for getting to know her. It is very rare to find like-minded people like her who understand natural healing methods such as homeopathy. I would love to cherish this friendship for the rest of my life.

During our session, she used QX Scio that is an energy measurement equipment. It also fixes the energy flow remotely. I had an interesting experience with her QX Scio. Starting from the middle of the session, I started having dull headache. After the session I wanted to go to bed to lay down, but at the same time I wanted to go for a walk. So, I went for a walk with my family for 20 minutes. After the walk, I felt little bit better. My daughter gave me Reiki healing for a while. Then my headache was completely gone. When I closed my eyes, I could see a vision of a rusted bottle. A huge screw driver appeared and started rub off the rusts. I saw the rust part falling down on the ground. I knew her SCIO was adjusting my energy field. Later on, the homeopath told me that she let the SCIO kept on working on my energy field fixing work until 7 p.m., it was around the same time when my headache was completely gone.

Our counselling session had lasted for 3 hours. I had another zoom training started from 4 p.m. It was a helpful lecture presented by several Japanese speakers. They were an attorney and a CPA working for the Japanese people who live in a foreign country regarding the Japanese governmental offices such as tax and pension. The lecture was 1.5 hour with full of useful information. I appreciate all of them for generously offering their knowledge and information to support us.  

I attended Reiki Summit 2022. There are 36 speakers and I cannot listen to every single one of them. I needed to be selective on which speaker I will watch their interview. I watched two speakers so far. The first speaker is my Reiki teacher, Hyakuten-san.

In his interview, he emphasized the importance of raising our spiritual awareness in order to become a great Reiki practitioner. I totally agree with him and I am so happy to have found him as my reiki teacher. I learned Reiki from him in 2008. It has been 14 years so far. His stance stays the same. He wants to stay being humble and simple. He encourages us to stop thinking, but smile and let go. When you completely surrender and believe in the Universe, then you don’t need to do anything except for being there as just a simple pipe to convey Reiki energy from the Universe. I love his teaching always.

The second speaker is one Japanese female Reiki teacher who teaches Jikiden Reiki in Canada. I didn’t know anything about her lineage. Her explanation of her lineage was helpful to understand. I resonated with her saying the challenging and difficulty when it comes to translate Japanese culture to someone who is not a Native Japanese. When her Japanese teacher said only one word, sometimes she has to add 3 sentences to explain the background culture of the word. Because Japanese words come from our long history with our ancestors’ traditional ways, even just one word has deep meanings behind it. When we translate Japanese word into English, we cannot translate it in one word. Otherwise, nobody will understand the word properly.

In the morning we went for bowling. Same as yesterday, there were more bowlers than usual maybe because of the Veteran’s Day week.

In the evening my family and I went to the local community college. They offered a Native American flute concert. One of the performers was a Navajo man. His main clan is the same one as my late-dad-in-law.

After the concert, we stopped by at Walmart. I seldom go to Walmart. Maybe my last time to be there was more than 1 year ago. I was surprised at their layout change. McDonald was switched to Dunkin Donut. In the store, we run into my daughter’s teacher. She used to be the assistant principal at the local elementary school. I heard she was popular and I agree with other’s opinion. She was helpful for my daughter. It was nice to be able to catch up with her. She is now transferred to the principal at the school located in the next city. I am happy to know that I my daughter chooses to go to the local high school, our favorite principal will be there.

Sometimes when we do something differently from our routine, we will run into somebody whom we want to see again. Tonight, was like that, and I appreciate this lucky running-into event.  

In the morning we went for bowling. There were more bowlers than usual. Other than that, no special events today. My family and I had a great resting day. I understand the reason why we can spend our day peacefully and safely is because our family spirits are constantly guiding us and protecting us. Every minute and every second include full of miracles for us to be here. So, thank you to my family spirits always.
